For our first episode of Culture Club, I’m joined by Theresa Chromati. Theresa is an up-and-coming Brooklyn artist whose surrealistic and glittering paintings of Black women are taking the art world by storm. Her work has been exhibited in the Whitney Biennial and she currently has a show up at the Delaware Contemporary. She’s a multi-sensory storyteller, making mixed-media work that moves, shakes, and expresses the depth of female bonds, among other personal and universal tales. We catch up about moving during lockdown, her inspiration and what is helping her unwind right now.

Episode 51 features Guyanese-American artist Theresa Chromati (b. 1992). She has garnered critical and institutional attention for figurative paintings that are shaped by fragmented forms of desire and constant motion. Bursts of complex color, sensual protrusions, and texture deploy abstraction to explore various contemporary realities of black woman. These bodies are at once imaginative, bordering on grotesque, and celebratory as they convey a variety of emotional and spiritual states of being. Chromati was born and raised in Baltimore, attended the Pratt Institute, and is now based in New York City. Recently, her work was on view at The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Pérez Art Museum Miami, and The Moscow Museum of Modern Art. She has been featured in The New York Times, i-D, Interview Magazine, Juxtapoz, Architectural Digest, and Vogue.Photo credit:  Elliott Jerome Brown Jr.https://www.theresachromati.black/https://bmoreart.com/2020/06/stepping-out-to-step-in-theresa-chromati.html https://www.kravetswehbygallery.com/theresa-chromati https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/07/t-magazine/theresa-chromati-artist.html https://www.documentjournal.com/2019/06/theresa-chromatis-technicolor-portraits-of-women-being-as-loud-as-they-want/ https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/bv84zd/theresa-chromati-ive-been-going-back-and-forth-attempting-to-settle-on-a-thought-for-this-time https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/this-museum-found-an-ingenious-way-to-open-an-exhibition-during-lockdown https://www.decontemporary.org/theresa-chromati
